So Kettan, Will, and Emerald decide that Blade may be watching Kettan’s place, as well as her world—and decide they’ll go into Story though someone else’s world.
And end up tonight deciding to try to get there through Will’s world. Which is filled with women. Babes, even. Lots of them.
I had some fun with tonight’s writing. Emerald got the night’s best line.
521 words.
How about you?

Now I want to see Will’s World of Babes (AND read Emerald’s line)
212 words on September 1st. Erthel and Faurel can go back to the real world now.
I’m not sure I got this scene quite right. It’s got what I wanted, in that Erthel and Faurel discover something important about Mr. Bad Guy, but I’m not sure that the whole “risking their lives” issue is really getting through. But meh, such is the way of first draft. Now it’s finished, and I’m moving on to the next scene.
Holly, I can’t decide which is more riveting, observing your process or watching the story itself unfold. But I’m enjoying them both. Thank you for doing this; I’m finding it so very enlightening!
735 words, when the muse insisted I must write about the crown of feathers NOW. I got a way for the ambassador to manipulate the heroine, and a glimpse into her future, one that he mistakenly believes includes himself.
I have some scenes to fill in leading up to this one now, but I like having something to aim for.
And it’s nice to see you back writing
Ditto. Watching your process is as interesting as the story.
A few hundred words of notes, more or less.
Started work again today…
Musing over the necessity of the new Book I villain, and how he might change the flow of the series itself. Thinking that the ‘How to write a series’ bonus might help me there.
If I write this guy in as he wants to be, I’ll have to backtrack and rub out a lot of intriguing stuff that the OTHER villains did in order to get into the castle, since this guy could just quietly let them in himself.
He only exists because as I’m revising Book I, I’m noticing there’s no climactic confrontation with a key villain at the end. There -is- a satisfying battle, and the evil plot is thwarted, but it just doesn’t have the same pizazz as knocking out a named bad guy.
This is a week of more work each day than I have done in months. Luckily, I also know when it will end. I overslept this morning and did not have time for new words. Tonight will be the same, burning the midnight oil on work stuff, not on writing.
